While B.C. Transit was sug-

‘less. Less slash burning, that is.
: According to director Bob

‘Weeber came to the ministry’s
defence by saying slash burning,
or “controlled burns’’, were not
lit: “indiscriminately or frivo-
lously’’. This was countered by
Les Watmough, however, who
~ said,. “I would wager that
escapement fires over the years

will total all the natural fires i in

‘the province.’

The heat of this debate rages..

on,.and so does one other: the

-week, the regional board asked
administration to investigate the
intentions of the Alaskans and
the northwest mining industry in
‘accessing the Iskut gold fields.
Director Dan Pakula said there
was a “‘strong rumor’’ of plans
‘to build a road from Juneau to,
the Golden: Bear site and. Les
‘Watmough added a little drama
to the discussion: ‘“‘If a road
starts at the Stewart end, we’re.
okay. But if it starts on the

he predicted.

But there were happier stories
than these. The holiday spirit
‘was Strong and a picture printed
